"Wolf Games" [Granite Lake Wolves, Book 3] by Vivian Arend

My Book Summary : Seven years ago her previous pack did some terrible things to her and her family, since then she has been running and hiding from all other "wolves", but now Maggie has to rejoin the ranks of those like her, even if she's scared to death. Erik is sent to bring her to her knew home in Alaska, to the pack her sister is now a part of, and she finds she is immediately drawn to him, which scares her even more.

Thankfully, Erik doesn't plan on pushing her into anything, but that doesn't mean he's backing off either, since she is his mate and he'll do anything to have her be safe and keep her with him. But when she gets randomly chosen to participate in the Wolf Games (that are like the wolf version of the Olympics), she'll have to deal with her past and the issues that come along with that sooner then she expected.

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. I have yet to read the other books in this series but if this one is like the others then I have high hopes for it. It's a sweet tale about the meaning of love and what you are willing to do to pull through during the difficult times.

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Tidal Wave

Book Teaser :

"Missy leaned in again and whispered with a laugh. "Oh goodie, that's Jared. If there's a challenge involving getting into the girls' pants, we're now guaranteed a win."
Rather than watching what happened with the selection, Maggie was more intent on keeping an eye on Erik. He shook his new team member's hand then stood back, his gaze once again meeting hers. Calming her from across the room.
He was there for her. Could she believe that?" ~ within Chapter 4

Disappointmentville: NASCAR Series, Book 2

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 246 KB | Release Date: December 2006 | Publisher: HQN Books

"In the Groove" [NASCAR Series, Book 2] by Pamela Britton

My Book Summary : Sarah just keeps getting kicked to the curb with all of her ex-boyfriends but this most recent time was a doozy! Recently some racy photos of her became published without her permission (not to mention that they were photoshoped). Because of these photos, she has lost her job as a kindergarten teacher (that she loved), and her most recent boyfriend broke up with her and kicked her out of their place to live. Therefore, she's trying to make a new start .... drives across the country to North Carolina looking for a job ... but the only thing she seems to be able to get is to become the bus driver for Lance Cooper (a famous NASCAR racer), who she has never heard of in her life. They seem to have an instant spark between them as soon as they meet, but being his employee, Sarah tries to have it go nowhere. Will Lance just give up trying? Will Sarah's past just go away or will it come back to haunt her?

My Book Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. Cute NASCAR story ... but the way Sarah handles the situation kinda upset me ... I mean the book is well written but it made me not like the book's ending too much.

Book Teaser :

She opened her eyes. Her head--still attached to her body, miraculously--had come to rest against something hard and cool. A windshield, she realized. Her cheek and the front of her body pressed against the glass.
Oh, great.
She was now a human bug. How appropriate. ~ within Chapter 1

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about babe, A little mystery to figure out.

How can an actuary and a constant risk taker ever make it work? Well you can find out if you read: "Speed Dating" by Nancy Warren! It's about Kendall, a winner of the Actuary of the Year award, is in Charlotte, NC to accept this award and an hour before the event her fiancé informs her that he's leaving her for his pregnant mistress, who is also their work colleague. Startled, pissed, and desperately needing to find out where her dress for the event is, Kendall finds herself locked out of her hotel room in nothing but silk lingerie. When her bosses start walking down the hall she goes into another hotel room that has it's door open so she wont be seen, and ends up in Dylan's room. Dylan is a Nascar driver, who is waiting for is hired actress date to show up so he can attend his ex-wife's wedding. He assumes Kendall is that women and because of what has just happened to her in the past hour or so she agrees to go with him. ........ After the wedding he finds out she's not really an actress and they attend her acceptance part of her awards ceremony. Kendall makes a speech that leaves her co-workers feeling she might be a bigger risk then they're willing to take, telling her she should take some time off. ...... Which is how Kendall finds herself as Dylan's good luck charm for his races during the next 3 months .... but when things start becoming more for her will he hang on or crash and burn?

It was definitely a cute read! 3 out of 5 stars! I would have given it 4 but the ending just left it hanging. =0P Which is why I am a big fan of epilogues, so everything can wrap up in the end. But this one didn't have that. =0(

Oh wells .....

My best friend to me was more like a brother ...

A story that warms the heart and can still be ... funny ... about friendship ... about love and first loves ... about family ... and more. "My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins, & Fenway Park" by Steven Kluger is a really great book. I usually love books that are written completely out of letters / IMs / Emails / notes .... etc. and this one is no exception.

It's a book about three friends who are in 11th Grade writing an essay about their most excellent year as their college essays, and the year they talk about is their freshman year of high school where all their lives get turned upside down. Anthony/TC/Tick is a jock who gets along with everyone. Augie is an extrovert to the extreme and would do anything for Tick his "brother". Alejandra/Alé is independent and opinionated but finds out what true friendship can be like. I think everyone would enjoy this story, here is a small excerpt to show you just how great it is:

Even though I should have listened to Augie when he told me that Alejandra needed special handling, I didn't. Instead on the first day of school I stuck a note into her social studies book.

DEAR ALLIE: I'M CONSIDERING A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. AND BY THE WAY, FORGET THAT MRS. FITZPATRICK CALLS ME ANTHONY. YOU CAN CALL ME T.C. - T.C.

After phys ed there was a vanilla envelope on my desk with purple writing on it that looked like it came from the principal's office--and I usually don't get called in there until at least November.

Dear Anthony,

I appreciate your recent interest, but I'm not accepting applications at this time. Your letter will be kept in our files and someone will get back to you if there is an opening.

Thanks for thinking of me.

Respectfully, Alejandra Perez

P.S. It's not "Allie." It's "Alé."
Soo cute! =0) It gives you the usual teenage drama ... along with other things not every kid has to deal with. Definitely I give this book 4 out of 5 stars!! To find out more about Steven Kluger and/or his other books then check out his website.
